ANTI-FASCIST iNFO (AFi) is a collective of predominantly
people of colour in Vancouver, some currently defendants on charges
arising from anti-fascist demonstrations, with the aim of gathering
and distributing information on the extreme right in Canada. They
are producing and distributing a range of material including
pamphlets and posters.

"We see anti-fascism as a protracted struggle with no clear
victory or conclusion, until there are fundamental changes in the
white supremacist world order. Institutionalized racism and the
oppression of Third World peoples globally, creates a climate that
inherently breeds racists. At the same time, we have witnessed the
explosive rise of fascism in Europe, and are determined to prevent
it from developing into a mass movement here."

Vancouver's high-profile fascist Tony McAleer, connected to
the Aryan Resistance Movement (ARM), Aryan Nations, and White Aryan
Resistance (WAR), last year sponsored an attempt to bring WAR's Tom
Metzger from the US on a Canadian speaking tour. Vancouver anti-
racists succeeded in shutting this venture down on the evening of
January 22/93.

Now, exactly a year later, McAleer is under fire
for his activities which focus around the "Canadian Liberty Net",
a telephone hateline which is the central propaganda and recruiting
tool of Vancouver-area fascists.

A federal human rights tribunal
has ordered McAleer and his associates "anywhere in Canada" to
cease distributing hatred and contempt telephonically, following
a message which said the ancient Celts had "not such a bad idea"
when they used to "take queers and trample them into peat bogs."

McAleer is being represented by Doug Cristie, a fascist lawyer who
has represented the likes of Ernst
Zundel, in this, the second run-in with the courts "Liberty-Net" has faced. Remember...three
strikes and you're out, racist scum!

ON THE PROWL would like to make this section of the bulletin
a regular feature in documenting the current struggles against
racism and fascism in Canada. If you are active in anti-fascist
organizing outside of Toronto, drop us a line and let us know
what's up. Also, we are always in need of a steady flow of
newspaper clippings on far-right activity in other cities.

If you
aren't necessarily a member of any group, but have information on
fascist activity in your neck of the woods, drop us a line at: ON
THE PROWL, PO Box 664, Stn C, Toronto, Ontario M6J 3S1 (All
information treated in strictest confidence.)

* Setting A Precedent In Kitchener-Waterloo

On Saturday February 12, anti-fascist youth in Kitchener-
Waterloo (K-W) marched through the streets to demonstrate at city
hall against racism and fascism. En route the demonstration
targeted the European Sound Import store on King St., nazi-owned
property used as meeting space for the
Heritage Front and location
where holocaust-denier
David Irving attempted to speak last fall.
Eggs were thrown at the shopfront and the windows were plastered
with anti-racist stickers.

The demo was called by K-W's Anti-Racist Group (ARG) to bring
attention to the rise in racist and fascist attacks in the city.
An anti-racist activist's home had been fire-bombed by fascists
twice, a Jewish shopowner was assaulted by nazis, and attacks on
people of colour by the police. Incidents such as these have fallen
on the deaf ears of a community which has chosen to sweep them
under the carpet. So once again, the impetus has come from the
youth to fight alongside those who are resisting the attacks.

Toronto anti-fascists extend full support to the actions of groups
like ARG.

In Toronto, ARA has made life very difficult for fascists, so
scumbags like the
Heritage Front retreat to smaller towns like K-W to recruit in the high schools. This is countered by the efforts
of grassroots anti-racist organizing that sets a precedent on the
streets and in the highschools. Fascists will not be tolerated in
the community! To contact ARG, write: 170 University Ave West,
Suite 12 Box 133, Waterloo, Ont. N2L 3E9

* Racist Graffiti

In Oakville, spray-painted swastikas and neo-nazi slogans
appeared on the outer walls and three portable classrooms at White
Oaks Secondary School. Nazi graffiti was also found in an elevator
at the Medical Sciences Building of the University of Toronto.
Anti-racist students everywhere can combat the spread of neo-nazi
spray-painting and propaganda in their own schools by tearing down
nazi-posters and replacing their racist, sexist and homophobic
filth with anti-racist posters, etc. Be creative!

Write to ON THE PROWL with any information about neo-nazi
activity in YOUR school (All information treated in strictest
confidence) and ask for a package of anti-racist posters and
stickers to get you started. We would also like to print statements
and reports from local highschool groups who are active against
racism and fascism within their schools and neighborhoods.

* Fighting Fascism In The Capital!

Ottawa Anti-Racist Action seems to be off to a good start on
its monumental task of squashing the fascists in the nation's
capital. They have just released the first issue of an anti-racist
newsletter, and they can be reached for general information at P.O.
Box 4721, Station E, Ottawa, K1S 5H9.

* Nazis Off Campus

On March 30/94, three-hundred students and anti-racists
demonstrated at Queens University in Kingston against a neo-Nazi
presence on campus. One particular fascist has been responsible for
a rash of neo-Nazi posters and an attempt to sue an anti-
sexist/racist student newspaper.

* Fascist Sues B.C. Anti-Racist Organizer

David Lethbridge, director of B.C's Salmon Arm Coalition
Against Racism (SACAR), has become the target of a lawsuit for
"defamation of character," launched by Eileen Pressler. Pressler
is the head of Salmon Arm's Council on Public Affairs, a right-wing
organization which reproduces pro-fascist, holocaust denial, anti-
Semitic and racist materials in its monthly Council on Public
Affairs Digest which claims to have a circulation of 12,000.

SACAR has been committed to exposing key links in the
international far-right movements existing in the Okanagan region,
organizing demos and conferences, disseminating information and
bringing attention to fascist activity that has been largely
downplayed by the mass media. It seems they have been successful
to some degree in light of a lawsuit which seems to be aimed at
shutting down SACAR's public campaigning.

Pressler's lawyer, Doug Christie, is well-known for
representing the KKK in Manitoba, the Canadian Liberty Net for its
racist hateline, Rudy Stanko of the paramilitary fascist
Church of
the Creator, nazi propagandist Ernst
Zundel, anti-Semitic teachers
Jim Keegstra and Malcolm Ross, and others.

If this lawsuit is successful, it could mark the beginning of
a series of similar moves against the anti-racist movement, aimed
at discrediting and hindering anti-racist work on the whole. SACAR
is appealing for support, especially for contributions to its legal
defence fund. Donations can be sent to: SACAR DEFENCE, 3521 20 Ave.
